Why Materials and Accounting Systems Should Be Seamlessly Integrated?

Materials and accounting are at the core of business operations for any manufacturing or trading company. The way these functions operate significantly impacts the overall health of the business. In SME industries, various methods are used to manage these operations, often combining manual systems with accounting software. However, when the accounting system becomes the primary driver, its constraints can overshadow the needs of other operations,
including inventory management. This often results in the following inconsistencies:

1. Data Inconsistencies – Manual data entry between separate systems increases the risk of errors, leading to inaccurate financial records and mismanaged inventory levels.
2. Operational Inconsistencies – A lack of synchronization causes delays in order processing, stock updates, and financial reporting, reducing overall productivity.
3. Financial Inconsistencies – Without real-time financial insights, businesses struggle to track profitability, assess cash flow, and make informed pricing and purchasing decisions.
4. Tax and Compliance Inconsistencies – Contrary to the expectation, disjointed or part manual systems make tax calculations and compliance reporting complex and errorprone even in an accounting software, resulting into costly errors.

The Answer: A Comprehensive and Integrated Solution

Each component of financial and materials management has its own unique requirements and complexity. Thus, any system that claim to integrate them well must do justice to needs of each individual parts. A truly integrated solution must cover the following five key areas:

1. Inventory Operations
2. Materials Management
3. Accounting Operations
4. Financial Management
5. Statutory and legal compliances
